OCR resembles CIE.

In my opinion, all are hard. However this is my way of putting it:

CIE>EDEXCEL>OCR

From hardest to easiest.

Do universities know this difference in difficulty between the syllabuses? Cause what is a B in CIE could be an A in OCR...?
Relax, enjoy and be LAZY!

NOT AT ALL.

A Levels are all equal.

It's just the recognition of the board. Like some boards may have more recognition than the latter, etc.

Cambridge and Edexcel have a lot of global recognition.

I'm sure AQA, OCR, WJEC and others do too.

OCR

OCR means Oxford and Cambridge RSA Examinations. The professors that make OCR QPs are the same as CIE, so use OCR to revise. That will help u quite a lot.

For people stufying Edexcel, use AQA, they are the closest thing u will find. Infact, AQA is good for all, because its topic are made much shorter and categorised.

Hope this helps.
